Meh, it's no dumber than any other console name, and smarter than a few. At least Wii has a rationale behind it. What was the rationale behind naming a console Dreamcast? For that matter what the hell does "Nintendo" actually mean? Or "Sega"? Or "Sony"?

It's about as dumb as naming it "p-NIX" would be.

p-NIX? Is that some kind of virtual porno machine? Or an automated circumcision device?

Nintendo is composed of three Japanese Kanji characters, Nin-ten-do. The first two can be translated to "Heaven blesses hard work"; do is a common ending for any store.

A lot of feelings on the net is that Wii is a "coverup" name. I think Nintendo is just throwing a curveball to ramp up talk about the new system.

Either way, they're taking the exposure to the bank.
